Found a great way to get to Sunday Mt. on the Swan Crest, and George Lake in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Turn east at milepost 27.8 Highway 83 Swan Valley. Drive 7.4 miles on FS road #4353and park at way point 47 20.671, 113 31.333. Hike or trail bike on trail # 382 about 2 miles to trail junction. Way point 47 20.215, 113 29.387. Take the hiker, fisherman trail (well defined) that leads off to the left and climbs 1200 feet to The Swan Crest and on to George Lake. 3.3 miles to the crest. Have not gone on to George Lake
I'm interested in knowing if the creek you cross after going over the swan wall (the headwaters of Babcock Creek, fed by snowfields) has water year round. I've only been there in July, will it be a water source in late August? I suspect the answer is yes, but would appreciate any info.
